Chapter 628: Eldritch Deity Hou Feng (2)

"Run!"

"Flee." The two beast battle arrays that had engaged Wu Yuan, as well as High Immortal Wu Zong, simultaneously abandoned their positions and fled backwards. The immense sword domain that had been restraining Wu Yuan rapidly dissipated.

"Flee?" Wu Yuan's gaze turned cold. "Do you really think you can escape?"

Boom! Wu Yuan took a single step forward, his vital aura beginning to surge dramatically. His mana power, which had already reached the ninth-stage Earth Eldritch level, started to rise, approaching the High Eldritch level.

Archeldritch Divine Artifacts! As my mana increases and my Dao comprehension improves, the power I can draw from heaven and earth's authority through the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts grows stronger. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

The transition from the ninth-level Domain stage to the True Intent stage of Life was a qualitative transformation. However, since Wu Yuan had just made this breakthrough, he still needed time to fully grasp the essence of the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts. When he initially used his saber techniques, his vital ether hadn’t yet fully transformed.

But within the span of half a breath, as Wu Yuan attuned to the essence of the artifacts, the authority of heaven and earth surged into him.

Once it began, the process unfolded rapidly. In an instant, Wu Yuan’s vital aura was elevated to heights he had never reached before.

High Eldritch level? It seems my strength has just reached the First Tribulation High Eldritch level? Wu Yuan mused, sensing the power within him.

First Tribulation High Eldritches were the most ordinary High Eldritches. Yet the leap from Earth Eldritch to High Eldritch represented a qualitative change, granting Wu Yuan power on par with the numerous High Immortals and High Eldritches of the immortal and eldritch races.

With equal power levels, the determining factors of battle would naturally fall to ether arts, saber techniques, artifacts, and the like. In these aspects, Wu Yuan was in no way inferior to the Eldritch Deities and three Imperial Majesties.

His combat power soared to a whole new level.

Boom! As Wu Yuan completed his transformation with the empowerment of the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts, a pair of wings materialized behind him, resembling those of a roc. His speed instantly rose to frightening levels.

Grand ether art — Rending The Heavens!

In a flash, he lunged toward one of the fleeing beast battle arrays, terrifying the four High Immortals within the array.

They could all sense the changes in Wu Yuan's vital aura. They already couldn't withstand him before, how could they hope to now?

"Kill!" Wu Yuan's eyes were ice-cold as he unleashed eight saber strikes simultaneously. The two Archeldritch Divine sabers in particular erupted with immense power.

Eight dazzling, endless blade rays tore through the sky, their power vast and overwhelming.

"Defend!" The beast battle array gritted its teeth, swinging its claws in defense, attempting to block Wu Yuan.

Clang! Clang! Clang! A series of terrifying collisions rang out as the beast battle array was sent flying repeatedly by Wu Yuan's strikes.

"Die!" Wu Yuan's killing intent soared. His blade rays were like eight rivers, their power limitless, forcefully severing claw after claw.

"No!" The High Immortals and Earth Immortals within the battle array howled in despair.

A dazzling blade ray sliced through the void, leaving an enduring scar in space, cleaving the enormous battle array in two!

Rumble~ A hazy yet grand Dao fluctuation descended, amplifying the saber’s might even further. The blade ray howled and erupted.

In a single exchange, over a hundred Earth Immortals were annihilated. Their Yuan Souls emerged, attempting to flee, but were still utterly destroyed.

"No!" The four High Immortals frantically struggled to escape, but three were instantly slain, their Yuan Souls unable to flee. They were merely ordinary High Immortals, completely helpless before the unstoppable Wu Yuan.

Only one managed to escape, seemingly skilled in a movement technique that granted incredible speed.

This was the weakness of High Immortals. If they were body refiners of the same level, they could have put up a longer struggle after defeat thanks to their powerful bodies.

"Excellent!"

"Nice kill!" The numerous eldritch race powerhouses were ecstatic.

"They fell just like that?"

"His strength has surged once again. He must be nearly as powerful as an Eldritch Deity now. It's simply unbelievable."

Despite being at a disadvantage and facing two Imperial Majesties of the immortal race, they had defended the Earth Archeldritch tribe, and even slew several High Immortals along with a large number of Earth Immortals. This battle could indeed be called a great victory.

"Hou Feng." The Snake Ancestor’s head swiveled towards Wu Yuan, its eyes brimming with admiration. "Your contributions were monumental to our victory. You are truly worthy of being called an Eldritch Deity."

"Hou Feng."

"Eldritch Deity?"

"Indeed. Though Hou Feng may only be at the ninth-stage Elysian Field phase, the power he's unleashed surpasses many veteran elders. He is more than deserving of the Eldritch Deity title."

"Eldritch Deity is a title earned through strength after all." The High Eldritches, though initially taken aback, swiftly adjusted their attitudes.

The way they addressed Wu Yuan changed unanimously—Eldritch Deity Hou Feng!

"Eldritch Deity?" Wu Yuan was startled at first, but quickly accepted it. After this battle, his mindset had undergone a significant transformation.

Sometimes, one must fight! Giving up without a fight meant death.

The title of Eldritch Deity represented not only glory, but also the responsibility of carrying the banner of the Huanggu eldritch race.

"Thank you, Snake Ancestor. However, without the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts..." Wu Yuan began to speak.

"Eldritch Deity Hou Feng," Eldritch Deity Hou Tu beside him interjected with a smile. "No need to explain. In our hands, the Archeldritch Divine Artifacts can only exert a fraction of their power, but in your grasp, they truly shine.

When your cultivation advances further, your strength will undoubtedly grow even more formidable, swiftly surpassing me and the Snake Ancestor, perhaps even rivaling Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu," Eldritch Deity Hou Tu remarked with a sigh.

"Mm." Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu? He was universally acknowledged as the strongest being in Huanggu.

Even if the three Imperial Majesties of the immortal race were to wield their Creation Divine Weapons, they were hardly a match for him outside Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"I wonder how the battle at Heavenly Pillar Mountain is going."

"I don't know."

"With over sixty percent, maybe even seventy percent of the immortal race's forces attacking our Earth Archeldritch branch, how can they possibly hold out?" The numerous High Eldritch and Eldritch Deities exchanged their thoughts.

"Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu has already led the army to the Fourth Heaven. It's just that the numerous arrays are slowing their progress," the Snake Ancestor suddenly spoke, communicating swiftly with the frontlines at Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

"However, before the immortal race's main force returns to Heavenly Pillar Mountain, I believe we can destroy the Eighteenth Heaven at least," the Snake Ancestor said solemnly.

"Haha, excellent!"

"Slaughtering our way through the lower seventeen heavens? That's where over sixty percent of the immortal race's members are gathered, right? Let's annihilate them all!"

"Destroying the lower seventeen heavens will significantly slow the immortal race’s production of new powerhouses." The numerous High Eldritch were filled with joy.

Wu Yuan listened quietly, deep in thought.

The immortal race paid such a hefty price just to kill me? Wu Yuan pondered silently. Could it be that in the eyes of the immortal race, my value exceeds that of more than half their population?

But over these past decades, I've never displayed any dazzling talent. Even the tribe's veteran elders who know part of the situation only believe my talent rivals that of Eldritch Deity Zhu Jiu. They don't know I've comprehended a Greater Law.

Only the Snake Ancestor knows about this. Could it be the legendary Mirror of Creation? But are its divination abilities really this miraculous? Wu Yuan found it hard to believe.

Without ever meeting him, and with barely any intelligence to go off from, it could predict his future? Even beings as great as Immortal Sovereign Bei You and Eldritch Sovereign Kua Chi shouldn't possess such terrifying abilities.

Wu Yuan was reluctant to believe it, but after eliminating all other possibilities, only this one remained.

If it wasn't the power of the Mirror of Creation, then it could only mean one thing—the Snake Ancestor was a traitor.

Mirror of Creation? A spark of curiosity ignited in Wu Yuan's heart.
